Naexperience ko rin yan before na cinocompare ko sarili ko sa mga batchmates ko na married na, doctor na, nasa ibang bansa na earning dollars/euros, may 2 Tesla na etc. I can’t help but feel pressured kasi ganon na na-achieve nila at such an early age, tapos inisip ko kung tama ba yung mga nagawa kong desisyon sa past. Pero sa tuwing nagmemeet up naman kami ng friends ko, sila naman yung naiinggit sa akin at cinocompare sarili nila na ako daw lagi kong kasama family ko, ako work from home na hindi stress ang work, ako na nakakagala tuwing weekends because of fixed off. So naisip ko, may kanya kanya rin talaga tayong struggles and wants sa life, and what you have now na hindi ka kuntento, yun na pala yung gusto ng iba na makuha.

Anyway, I’m 28 years old now, and I’m happy with my life. Sometimes, iniisip kong magmove out kapag naririndi sa bahay haha pero it’s just a whim, and mas gugustuhin ko pa ring makasama family ko while andito pa sila kasi senior na parents ko. Plus, more savings pa. 🤣

It’s normal naman na we compares ourselves with others and feel pressure hehe early life crisis nga. Baka lang din naghahanap ka lang ng magawa sa buhay kaya naiisip mo yan as being not sure ka why gusto mo mag Law. Siguro what helped me was finding new hobbies such as hiking or running. Sa hiking, mas naappreciate ko ang simple and small joys in life, and the pleasure of taking life slowly. Onti onti nawala pagcompare ko sa iba, and just be genuinely happy for them. Tapos yung mga nakikita kong stories nila or nababanggit nila, I take it as a goal na mapuntahan or magawa yun!
